more than Gladstone had ever offered, and

AKNoTTY QUESTION.
A knotty question is now before the
court here for adjustment. The grand jury
has brought in three indictments, but there
seems no way to transfer the cases from the
Circuit Court TO the Court of Criminal
Record. This was discussed at length by
States Attorney McDonel and ex-Chief
Justice Randall before Judge Baker The
act of the Legislature, Judge Randall
thought. was in conflict with the constitu-
ton. No decision was reached. 1t seems
that the Legislature that established the
Court of Record neglected this important
part of the necessary law. What conclu-
sion viii be finally reached by the court is
unknown, but it would seem hardship
upon those charged with crime
to have to stand so charged or remain in
prison for nearly two years, to await the
convening of the next Legislature to enact
a law to transfer their cases from the Cir
cult court, which now has no jurisdiction
over them i'll this county, TO the Criminal
court, which is alone authorized 10 give
them trial.
